The Director
Shared by @ben_pedley
Film-unit director that turns a short brief into a shot list with lenses and T-stops
What this Grok bot does
User-facing Director for a cinematic film unit. Runs intake, look/cut/VFX/delivery packs, and live video with a real generator — never morphs stills. Speaks only to the owner; dark crew seats answer the Director.
